#13Last company I worked at (~500 employees), almost 4 years ago, I was handed a desktop computer with the current top of the line i7, 32 gigs of RAM, 512 GB SSD and an HDD. No dedicated GPU but didn't do any GPU work so it didn't matter. A single QHD 32" monitor was provided. You could potentially request a second one, but in practice no one in my team asked for a second one. Right now, at the smaller startup I'm worki…
Thanks for info, can you share how your computers were networked? Did you work on remote deployed code or just a local copy of it?

great, Own office sounds exciting even though its temporary.
I have seen some people preferring mechanical keyboard, I have no strong preference in this case.

#16At my office (~700 people; one office of many for a large international marketing agency) I have a 15-inch 2015 Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I carry this around to meetings and stuff, but hook it up to a second screen and bluetooth keyboard/mouse while it's at my desk.
Are you from marketing or also a techie? Though,I know, there are many non-programmer in HN audience.

Desktop plugged into Ethernet, no further idea. My laptop connects to a secured wifi when I'm not working remotely now.
Both mentioned jobs have workflows that involve bringing up potentially most of the services being deployed in production locally.
People at my last job were starting to ask for 64 gigs of RAM to work with a full blown IDE as well as to deal with running multiple Java apps locally.
My current coworkers mostly work with light editors, and bring up smaller, containerized apps.
